Never heard of 'em or Gothenburg Way come to think about it.

Are you on a wind up?

Isn't Gothenburg the place Batman lives? Why would a place in Hull be named after where Batman lives????

You can't fool me Quilliam, I can see this is a trap and I'm not falling into it.

Damn and blast! My evil plans have been foiled once more.

No one paid my list any attention at all either. See if you can figure them out without cheating.

Remember, I'm a massive film and comic book nerd.

Devlin-MacGregor Pharmaceuticals - The Fugitive
Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles (CHOAM) - Dune
Veidt Industries - Watchmen
Blue Sun - Firefly
Multinational United - District 9


I nearly put Multinational and Blue Sun in mine, to be fair. Luckily I saw The Fugitive a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered that.

No point in asking you my list, they're pretty obvious to you and me.

I think it would be cool if the club actually did use one of ours for a sponsor. There are plenty of opportunities coming up that a kit could help advertise for a movie. There are a bunch of sci-fy movies alone that are coming up in which a company or org exists that we could use such as Aliens, Terminator, Star Wars, Ready Player One, The Martian even TV shows like Leviathan Awakes. I imagine kit sales would also go through the roof.

Honor system, no googling. Hint, both books are sci-fi series. I am sure you have read both so it shouldnt be to obscure.

United Minning Companies
CDF

CDF is Old Man's War, but I cannot for the life of me remember what UMC is from. I know I've read it, but can't remember the title.

They are working on an Old Wan's War TV show for the sy-fy channel. UMC is the corporation in the Gap Series by Stephen R Donaldson the guy who did the Thomas Covenant Series.

That's it, The Gap Cycle.

Yea it's one of those serious sci-fi books that the average reader overlooks. He is a great author but his stuff probably won't be made into movies as the more pop stuff in the genres seem to be what they go with. The Thomas Covenant Series is far better than Lord of the Rings (if you can get past disliking the main character) and The Gap Cycle is far more complex than all the pop movies (Star Trek, Star Wars) in that genre. He is good at taking the opposite approach to a genre than other authors use.

A mate at work had to use those as he had an overly aggressive case of Plymouth Argyles.

Silly bastard forgot he's just popped on up as he bent over and tried to blast out a violent tromp.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Still gets ragged about to this day and rightly so, why he thought telling the full office he was sticking those things up his sphincter was a good idea still baffles me.

Clown shoe.

Obviously not an anal retentive type methinks ?
